This document discusses the error that occurs when attempting to run applications such as Maple and MatLab (which use java to generate their GUIs) while using the Awesome Window Manager.

A blank gray window will appear when attempting to run an application that uses a Java GUI on the Awesome Window Manager. This occurs because the Java-Virtual-Machine does not recognize the Awesome Window manager when it checks the system environment. This will occur mostly when using Maple and MatLab. There is a command line work around for this, which consists of tricking the JVM into thinking that a different window manager is running. This is done using the wmname (Window Manager Name) command line tool.

Simply open a terminal and enter the following line:
"$ wmname LG3D"   (note the $ should not be entered, but represents the command prompt)

After entering this command, Java GUIs should load properly. Any open applications must be restarted for the change to take affect.
